Can someone please confirm this:

Every NI5210 packet driver since revision 3 crashes.
I drive data through them continuously for 24 hours (a min. of 1GB)
before "accepting" them.  The revision 7 driver will run
for about 8 hours and then the machine crashes hard.  Simply
replacing it with the revision 3 driver solves the problem,
which runs, and runs, and runs.

I do not have the tools to determine what is going wrong
with the packet driver, but something is.  Has anyone else
seen this problem?

Dean
